I found these emblems from AutoBadges.com.

Attachment 39342

Most everyone sells emblems like these, but between 5-6 inches long; too long for under the 'GT' fender emblem.

Might be the best of both worlds.. advertise and stealth!


3.7" Supercharged Emblem

If you are packing a turbo under that hood these emblems are perfect. They are 3.7" x 1/4" long which makes it just large enough to read next to the car, but not large enough to see from a distance. Surprise them when they pull up with these emblems!

Not sure if I mentioned it or not. But hood pins ordered.
I think those are similar to the emblems I just posted.

Cool on the hood pins!

Looks good in theory. I looked at the close-up. Is it me or does it look like "gel" writting. Doesn't look like its actual "metal" or anything. Wonder if it'll look tacky.

You buying it? Let me know how it looks. . Size wise it looks perfect.

Oh and btw, also sold my stock Shaker unit for some green! Good day today.

Brian, wont you be able to hear the twin screw really easy though, with it's low RPM power. That's why I want a Vortech, the power comes on at a higher RPM, so you only get max power when you are already pushing it.

yeah. From everything I've seen/heard on the 'tube or photobucket the whipple twin-screw is very noticable from the instant you're on the boost. I like that evil sound.

Dyno chart attached.
I've been dying all day to watch that. Great numbers Tom Congrats.

Leo FYI on the prothanes... I there is a deal waiting to go through if it falls through or the guy flakes I'm next in line. We'll see.

On the emblem. I have no idea if anything already exists. but if I could I'd get something like this and swap out the current GT emblem, keeping the faux gas cap with a new center piece. Sorry about the size.

Like this only bigger and black background with silver outlines, like the current emblem.

Injectors on my mind

Right now I'm running 39lbs injectors. Do you think if I upgrade to 60lbs and re-tune will HP go up?

Dang Tom, how long is Brent keeping your car? I thought the final tuning was today.
I will be striping it..... I'm sure it's a PITA, I'm fixin' to find out just how much of a beotch it will be.

I told Brent he could have the car as long as he wanted/needed so they were working on it around other cars.

Only if you have enough air..... your 39lb injectors should be good for around 480-490 rwhp (max) so likely you could just change pullies and tune and get you the extra kick.

It looks to be the same fake chrome plastic as the 'GT' fender emblem. Ehh, it's only $20 for the set, so I might go ahead and get them. Worst case, I'll put one on the roll-a-way and the other on Chris' school notebook.

I believe you only have around 20-30 more rwhp to play with. Beyond that, I think you know what you'll need.

Like Tom mentioned, a pulley change and tune might max you out before the kaboom effect.

you want to upgrade already ?? with nary a burnout or doughnut or some other nefarious proof of your already massive power vid ?? The fly-by was cool and all but I want to see something nasty

Heck go to Irwindale and get a vid of that at least.

awesome MS Paint skillz aside. The other thing that would work is get a silhouette of one of the pics you posted and have one of those cutout vinyl stickers in white for the qtr window ????

But I'm ahead of myself... when I do go FI and I have it I'll worry about any kind of warning to the competition.



OH Jed, it's only money.

I have no idea. Don't even know if it's possible. It'd be cool if it was. On my list of things this isn't in the top 10, yet....


Could you pm me the site or what that iTip web app was found. I tried looking on the Apple page and couldn't find it.

THANKS !!!

Oh, it's definitely possible... Just depends on what your looking for... Vinyl overlay? Metal, plastic overlay? The logo I designed for my local Mustang club is actually circular and we had vinyl stickers made that fit the gas cap perfectly...
